Capsule Inn Osaka

5 stars falls short!!! I have travel around Japan and stayed in Different capsule hotels and this one is definitely the best. There is a reason why they are the first capsule hotel in the world. Overall is clean signage is perfect. The capsules are mine blowing. They recently renovated the common areas, including the lounge areas as well and smells fresh. Special things to Joel and Takumi they were the best helping me out with all my questions.

Might be the world's first but the capsule is the smallest I've been in and needs modernising. Loud bangs off the plastic. The lighting is 24/7 needs dimmer/red light/off. Capsule was hot and sweaty. The alarm is nice but stupid. I heard 15 iPhone alarms and people forgot them sat the capsule one. Twice men had left and the alarm went off. I wouldn't say again, my feet had to extend out sacrificing privacy with the blind not being down. Hostel #696

Capsule Inn Osaka (man only) offers a very clean and functional capsule-style stay in the city center, with lockers for your belongings, beverage vending machines, laundry facilities, and above all, an excellent onsen included in the price (no tattoos allowed!). Guests also receive a fresh yukata (kimono-style loungewear) every day. The location near Osaka Station is very convenient, with many restaurants and bars around. On the downside, the atmosphere feels more practical than cozy, all guests must check out every morning by 10:00 even with multi-day bookings, and luggage storage on the departure day is not available. Staff are professional but not particularly friendly. Overall, it’s good value if you are looking for a straightforward overnight stay with a great onsen experience.

The Capsule Inn Osaka is located in a great neighborhood, very close to Umeda and Osaka Station, which makes getting around the city super convenient. The capsules themselves are clean, quiet, and comfortable, and the booking includes access to a spa and wellness area with a traditional Japanese onsen — a really nice touch! However, there are a couple of downsides. First, there’s no luggage storage available if you arrive before check-in time (3 PM), which makes early arrivals a bit tricky to manage. More importantly, the check-in/check-out system for multi-night stays is frustrating. Even if you're staying multiple nights, you're required to pack up all your belongings each day and check in again later — often to the exact same capsule. It feels unnecessarily inconvenient and could definitely be improved for guests staying longer than one night. Overall, it was a good stay, but the hotel should really rethink its system for long-term guests.

Come prepared - the capsules are just beds separated by thin walls, so you can hear every move of every person around you, and the air conditioning is very loud around your headspace. Personally I couldn't sleep for the most of the two nights I've spent there, however the lounges and public bath/sauna are amazing; if you're an easy sleeper you'll love this place

the capsule hostel is pretty cool, if you want to come for one night it's nice but for any longer stay i would say you should try to avoid. there isn't a room for luggage near the bed, you lock it in a locker room, everyday you have to check out and check in. the value for money is great, you get a hostel with lots of onsens and saunas, but I think it's better for a visit then for a staying.

What an experience. Initially a little intimidating, but once you get into it, you don’t think much and just enjoy. Spa, sauna all included (except massage services). Capsule is spacious plus extra lockers for luggage if needed. Friendly staff despite the language barrier.

Ok I ran into some problems - WiFi didn’t work - outlet in my bunk didn’t work - air vent in my bunk didn’t work (it got very hot in the night) - the light in my bunk flickered on and off and only worked about half the time - locker too small for my backpack so I had to unload it before it fit - checkout time 10, earlier than standard - long list of rules, including checking in and out with a paper slip that made me feel a bit like a prisoner But it was still a very unique experience and I’d recommend for a night. The baths are wild for someone who has not spent a lot of time in Japan and the retro style of the bunks is charming
